Gang violence in Chicago is so pervasive that it is now spilling into funeral services. The problem has escalated to the point that Cook County has established a task force to address it, CBS Chicago reports. What’s going on?

Sheriff Tom Dart has seen funeral processionals devolve into violent gunfights as they travel to Hillside, a cemetery where many slain gang members are buried in Chicago.

I have known Dana Loesch for a long time and I’ve been pleased to see her work her way up the food chain on the Right. She didn’t get to where she is because of a publicity stunt, because her whole gig is to offend people or because she mindlessly shills for the Republican Party. Instead, she’s someone with talent who was out there working her butt off for years.

Is Dana Loesch a mainstream grassroots conservative? Absolutely. Is she someone who should be considered a feminist role model? You bet. Having met her and her husband on numerous occasions, I can tell you that they

The National Rifle Association criticized the new gun-control package signed into law by Florida governor Rick Scott (R.) on Friday.

The gun-rights group said it was disappointed in the actions taken by Florida. It said the bill “strips law-abiding adults aged 18-20 of their Second Amendment right to self-protection” and called the expansion of waiting periods for gun purchases “unnecessary.” The NRA said Florida lawmakers are punishing millions of innocent Floridians for the acts of the Parkland shooter who killed 17 at

The aim was to slow the “school-to-prison pipeline.”

Before we discuss violence with guns, I’d like to run a couple of questions by you. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every day nearly 30 Americans die in motor vehicle crashes that involve drunk driving. What kind of restrictions should be placed on automobile ownership? Should there be federal background checks in order for people to obtain a driver’s license or purchase a car?

“I went from VERY successful businessman, to top TV star…to president of the United States (on my first try),” Mr. Trump said, referring to his “Apprentice” TV show and his real-estate empire. “I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius…and a very stable genius at that!” (“Trump…says he’s a very ‘stable genius’”)

“You have to do something very decisive. Number one, you can take the guns away immediately from people that you can adjudge easily are mentally ill, like this guy. You know, the police saw that he was a problem…. I think they should have taken them away anyway, whether they had

Anyone that paid attention to the 2016 election knows the issue of illegal immigration was one of the core issues that drove President Trump to victory. For good reason, the American people were tired of open borders and criminal illegal immigrants roaming freely through their streets. President Trump is keeping his promise to deport criminal illegal immigrants, but many local politicians care more about convicted criminals than they do their own citizens.

Since President Trump took office, ICE has increased arrests by 40 percent, a far cry from the Obama administration that had a habit of releasing criminal illegal immigrants into the community. The Obama administration was so inept, or
